Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 112 - 108, The him on the field

In the afternoon, most of the individual events of the sports day concluded, leaving team competitions such as tug-of-war and basketball for the afternoon.

Zhu Dandan waited in the playground for Wen Miao to finish her last event, and the two headed back to the dormitory together, bringing lunch for Pu Sangzhi on the way.

Dai Ya’an hadn’t returned, probably out to play. So only the three of them, an iron trio, remained in dormitory 308.

Zhu Dandan placed the desk board on Pu Sangzhi’s bed, with the takeout lunch set on top of it.

As Pu Sangzhi ate, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao sat on either side of her, playing with their phones and chatting with her.

"Sangzhi, there’s one good news and one bad news related to you. Which do you want to hear?" asked Zhu Dandan.

While eating, Pu Sangzhi replied, "What good news could I possibly have? Today has been nothing but bad luck."

Zhu Dandan held up a finger and said, "The girl who caused your fall had her results disqualified by the teacher. That’s good news, isn’t it?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "Her results have nothing to do with me. How is that good news?"

From the other side, Wen Miao chimed in, "Huo Feng found out the name and class of that girl. She’s a student from Senior Year 2 Class 9, also a member of their cheerleading squad yesterday. Huo Feng said he’d teach her a lesson for you. That must be good news, right?"

Pu Sangzhi curled her lip and didn’t respond, continuing to eat.

She wasn’t sure if this counted as good news. She just felt that any act of retaliation couldn’t bring back the honor and achievement she lost from the race.

"Sangzhi, there’s also a piece of bad news... because you didn’t finish the race, you won’t have a result either."

Zhu Dandan propped her cheek with one hand and pouted, "You were clearly about to come first. Now, like that anchor dragging you down, you’re left without a result. Ah... everyone feels sorry for you."

"Let’s drop the subject," she said.

Putting down her chopsticks, Pu Sangzhi turned to look at Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan and said, "Right now, I’ve also got some bad news for the two of you."

Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan looked back at her, waiting for her to elaborate.

"I think I hurt my ankle, and walking is somewhat difficult. I’ll need your help going to the playground to watch the basketball game this afternoon, and with everyday activities next week," said Pu Sangzhi.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dandan immediately slapped her chest and promised, "Of course, if we don’t help you, who will?"

Wen Miao also raised her eyebrows and declared matter-of-factly, "I’ll help only you, no one else can count on me."

Their two roommates’ friendly attitudes made Pu Sangzhi feel quite warm-hearted.

Although an accident occurred in the morning leading to a loss of honor and an injury, perhaps gaining so much concern in exchange was a kind of compensation.

...

In the afternoon, the school basketball game proceeded as scheduled.

Inside the gym, there were two basketball courts, hosting two games concurrently, determining the teams that would advance.

From those teams, further matches would decide, and ultimately two teams would face off in the finals.

This basketball game was split into two halves, and the team scoring more points wins.

The games were to start at 2 PM and were expected to finish by 5 PM.

By 1 PM, all the classes had completed their tug-of-war competitions and decided the winners. Thus, at 2 PM, with the start of the basketball game, it would be the last sporting event of the sports day.

The basketball game took place inside the sports hall. Since Huo Feng and his team were participating, many girls went to see the game solely for Huo Feng’s handsome looks. Therefore, by the time Pu Sangzhi and her friends arrived at the sports hall, all the seats and stands were fully occupied.

When Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan supported Pu Sangzhi into the venue, seeing the sea of students filling the stands instantly killed her desire to watch the game.

"There’s nowhere to sit..." said Zhu Dandan.

"Apparently, no place to stand either," said Wen Miao.

They took turns to speak, expecting the next thing would be for Pu Sangzhi to say, "Let’s not watch, let’s go."

To their surprise, Pu Sangzhi, despite her inconvenient leg injury, instead held them back and said, "Wait, let’s find a corner to stand in."

Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan were shocked! freewёbnoνel.com

Then, contrary to her usual manner, Pu Sangzhi craned her neck, searching for a suitable spot amidst the crowded stands.

There were so many people, so many that even after Pu Sangzhi looked twice, she couldn’t find a place for them to stay.

But she remembered she had promised to cheer for Huo Feng. If she wasn’t there, Huo Feng would later drown her in complaints, or even get angry...

Pu Sangzhi was always a person of her word. She either wouldn’t commit, or once she did, she would take it very seriously.

So now, even though they couldn’t find a spot, leaving directly wasn’t an option. At the very least, she needed to let Huo Feng know.

Luckily, lingering at the entrance for a little while allowed Huo Feng, who just came out after changing into his team uniform, to spot her.

"Sangzhi!"

As soon as he saw her, Huo Feng abandoned his team and hurried toward her, bounding down the stairs.

Looking up, Pu Sangzhi followed the sound and fixed her gaze upon Huo Feng, who was sprinting toward her...

He was dressed in a black basketball uniform with red stripes sewn into the shirt and pants. The number ’01’ loomed large on his sportswear, as if signifying the first, the leader.

Beneath him were white sneakers outlined with red, and moving up, the sweatband on his forehead was also black and red...

This outfit of black and white, with a hint of red, was like Huo Feng himself: his dark presence intermingled with a streak of passionate red, both domineering and deadly.

Seeing him coming from afar, Pu Sangzhi’s eyes lingered on him, unable to look away.

It wasn’t just her; Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan beside her were also drawn to Huo Feng.

Throughout the stands, countless female classmates also turned their eyes toward Huo Feng.

Huo Feng seemed to have an inherent charm, an innate magnetism that made him the center of attention wherever he went.

"Sangzhi! You made it!"

Huo Feng quickly reached Pu Sangzhi, flashing a broad smile, "Can you walk okay? I was going to come get you after changing, but I was afraid you wouldn’t show."

Pu Sangzhi gave him a sideways glance, "I promised you, so I would definitely come."

Huo Feng chuckled, "Good, that’s the spirit. Hey, I saved you seats. The three in the middle of the first row - I made those students leave for you guys to sit."

Pu Sangzhi hadn’t expected him to be so thoughtful. She glanced at the middle seats and saw that the three boys had already stood up, just waiting for them to come over.

"Is it hard to walk? I can carry you over."

Huo Feng, still concerned about her mobility, turned and bent over, presenting his broad back to her.

In that moment, every student and teacher in the gym was watching them, with a mass of onlookers gathering, which made Pu Sangzhi feel embarrassed.

"No need, go find your teammates. I’ll make it over on my own."

Pu Sangzhi refused him and turned to wave Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan over.

Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan quickly came to her side, propping her up on both sides as if to help her climb the stairs.

Huo Feng turned his head and saw their efforts, his eyebrows furrowed, "Tomboy, you’re strong, why don’t you carry Sangzhi?"

Being suddenly called ’tomboy’ did not sit well with Wen Miao at all!

But because it was Huo Feng who called her that, Wen Miao couldn’t be upset; she had to swallow her anger and replied, "Just pulled out weeds, arms are sore."

Huo Feng glanced at her disdainfully, "Weakling."

Having said that, Huo Feng went up to them, pushed Zhu Dandan aside, and without a second word, scooped Pu Sangzhi into his arms!

"Hey!"

Pu Sangzhi let out a loud yell, startled by his brazen action.

At once, Huo Feng’s move shocked all the students and teachers in the gym, and a uniform "Whoa" erupted from the spectator seats...

At the same time, Huo Mingshan, sitting in the front rows of the spectator chairs, also witnessed this scene.

Right then, Huo Mingshan’s brows knotted as if they could kill a fly.

"Hey, what are you doing! There are so many people, put me down..."

Pu Sangzhi kept her head low, pounding on Huo Feng’s chest from embarrassment and agitation because of his presumptuous action.

"I’ll just carry you up the stairs, it’s no big deal, it’ll be quick."

Despite her protests, Huo Feng acted as he pleased, without any hesitation.

So, nonchalantly, he carried Pu Sangzhi up the stairs and then set her down.

Now, Huo Feng had adopted a devil-may-care attitude, for having been caught too many times by his father in the past two days, he was no longer scared of anything.

He thought, just add another charge to the list when settling scores later; Huo Feng didn’t care.

Once Pu Sangzhi was on the step of the first row of the spectator seats, Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan quickly caught up, and Huo Feng naturally handed Pu Sangzhi over to them, "Help her inside, I’m off to find my teammates."

Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan nodded in agreement.

But Pu Sangzhi’s face was flushed with anger at that moment, wishing she could just crawl into a hole.

It wasn’t until they were seated and the match officially started that the heat Pu Sangzhi felt began to subside and the students started to focus on the game.

Huo Feng wasn’t playing in the first round; after waiting for two rounds, it was finally their class’s turn to play.

And when he led his team onto the court, a sudden burst of cheers rose from the stands...
